Bass review

Just to let everyone know that there is a misprint in the latest edition of Bass Guitar Magazine this month regarding the review of the Eve Basses. Mistakes happen, but I just want to clarify that the 5-string Elite pictured IS NOT the ProBass. Anyone getting in contact please note that the ProBass is the bolt-on model with a solid natural or stained body - there are no options for top laminates or exotic woods. I have attached an image of what should have been printed. Apologies for any confusion.

Almost finished - oil coating

The Hazra Elite

Custom Bolt-on Elite 'Hazra' 32.5" Bass with custom Eve Soapbar humbuckers.

In Progess

ProBass in the works. We've added carbon rods into all our new basses for 2013 to eliminate potential buzzing and deadspots than can occur in the upper register on bolt-on basses due to the force of the strings when connecting to the body pocket.

Probass in progress...

The newly redesigned Probass 2013 model currently in the carving

. Alder & Ash body with a body sculpt of the Elite, only modified to accommodate the bolt-on neck. All Probasses are still 100% hand made, and individually unique as you'd come to expect - but for £900!!

New Bass

Just completed 4-String 'Hazra' custom finished bass. 32.5" scale with bolt-on neck. Fantastic tone! Already sold.
